Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) provides a small collection of books and magazines for members to borrow from.

(There is no specific checkout procedure for our books, it is on the honor system.)

The PPM Library is located in our Electronics Area.

The area is available for all our members to use, without any additional required training (Level 1).
Always leave the space better than you found it.
